This sounds different. A bit of sweet and sour. Thanks for sharing.

yw ~ I was wondering how this would be on ribs.  I think it would work....

I like the idea of using it on lamb chops too.

I've never cooked lamb, so I had no idea about that :)  I always see lamb being served rare, and DH is a well done type of guy, so I've never picked it up.  I've never eaten it either, lol ~ we aren't so adventurous, are we??

I think that nowadays, with prices the way they are, we are a little cautious about being too adventurous. Lamb is expensive and I haven't figured out why.

I do know that the sweet and sour mentioned in the recipe would work really well on chicken, turkey, beef ribs, ox tails, maybe even salmon. Well, maybe the salmon would fight against the pork fat but I really think it would work. Like bacon fat.

I bet it would be terrific on wild game too.

I've always wondered why lamb is so expensive too.  I guess cuz they are only little for so long, and the birthing time is pretty much just spring??  I don't know how long a sheep is pregnant, LOL!

I like ox tails and tongue too. Their prices skyrocketed.

When I asked why, the butcher said "Well, the poor beast only has one of each!"

Gotta love a butcher with a sense of humor, lol!
